Liverpool lies on 6th place this season , a lot worse than expected . They surely want to go at least in top 4 this season and this is achievable . There are enough games left to overcome Aston Villa and Everton who are higher in standings than Liverpool . Ok , there are games but if they miss games on home ground like they did till now they will end up losing . My opinion is that Liverpool will be very cautious for this game with Middlesbrough not to receive a goal because then it will be very hard to come back in the game .
Anyway , Liverpool has good defense and usually they are preoccupied more on defense . Almost half of their games they didn't conceded a goal and I expect this game to end with Liverpool win but Middlesbrough not to score .
I saw Middlesbrough playing against second division teams and Middlesbrough played about same level as second league . I wasn't impressed by their attack .

Liverpool have a defensive problems with Jamie Carragher suspended and Martin Skrtel (ankle) set to miss out. Daniel Agger can resume playing after his foot problem but he will not be risked, meaning Alvaro Arbeloa could partner Sami Hyypia in the centre.

My pick :
Liverpool - Middlesbrough , Middlesbrough NOT to score @ 1.90 Expekt (GB also )
